Silent Hill: Townfall developer announces balance patch to address 'The Weight'

gamingOct 1, 202662892

Silent Hill: Townfall is in the middle of a player-driven fix after Screen Burn confirmed a balance update to address the enemy known as The Weight, whose stealth sections players flagged as especially frustrating. The studio posted a statement framed as We’ve heard you and specifically named tweaks to make those stealth moments less aggravating. Meanwhile players and creators are posting big personal moments tied to the release, from streamers who finished all endings to someone spotting their own name in the Townfall credits, and others making new reactive content inspired by Chapter 2.

genuinely how this game left me feeling

I tried listening to the first stream this morning and concluded the rest of the game probably wasn't worth it if there was that little detail and intrigue within the first few hours.

Didn't watch the streams. Wouldn't have expected you to dislike it so much. Did you feel some kind of obligation to play the whole thing or is it an among ashes/Cronos situation where you liked it at first but the game took a massive nosedive at the end?

Alright, Than I'll will not play that game and will skip it and not waste my time with it.

"silent hill game only counts if it takes place in silent hill" IT IS NOT A REAL PLACE! IT IS A METAPHYSICAL GUILT DIMENSION, PLEASE BE SERIOUS

if you're saying Silent Hill DOWNPOUR is a truer Silent Hill game than Townfall simply because Murphy Actually Goes There you're just a not a serious person worth having a conversation with, I'm sorry

silent hill is a state of mind. any place can be silent hill if you're tortured enough.

That Gaudy Fox1

The real Silent Hill was the self-hatred we physically manifested along the way.

"no, you see, they should have named it 'game where the protagonists are tormented by their perceived mistakes and guilt in a foggy purgatory dimension by the owner of the silent hill IP, unrelated to the silent hill IP'"

Lucan "Lil Yo-T" Keiran1

If this is about townfall, I dunno I vibe a lot with it so far and don't understand the hate it's getting. Plus haven't like all the games after 3 been outside Silent Hill?

SURPRISE I CHOPPED OFF ALL MY HAIR Silent Hill Townfall Chapter 2 twitch.tv/orzulsplace

a screenshot of orzul, a biracial cambodian-american. they have black hair styled in a curly bixie cut. the background is filled with a chair, bookshelf, lots of stuffed animals, trinkets, and artwork. there is a neon turquoise light coming the bookshelf. there is a pixelated turquoise camera border with fluffy clouds and curvy grass.

It's got a really neat story and characters, and one of the creepiest monster designs in a video game. Also every part of the actual gameplay just kinda sucks

It's great because some aspects of it are truly incredible, but then some parts make you wonder how it slipped past QA testing. Those ghosts are ROUGH
